The typing tutor roguelike

Neon Type Defender is a game that will accidentally make you better at typing. It's what happens when a pair of guys who love roguelike adventure games like the Binding of Isaac, Slay The Spire, Spelunky and Balatro combine this love with their adoration of solid typing mechanics.
